Hey Alois and Jeff,

when im using flick when returning service, the ball always end up going in the net. Can you help me?

Hi Machan,

Is your opponent serving a backspin ball? If so and it is fairly low it can be hard to flick and you might be better off trying to push the ball back. The other thing you can try is to open up the angle of your bat more to counter the backspin. This helps you lift the ball up as we discuss in the lesson.

Try this out and let me know if it helps.

A great weapon is being able to vary the amount of speed and spin on your forehand topspin stroke. By making your stroke more vertical and brushing the ball finely, you can generate more spin. For more speed you need to swing more horizontally.
